If the history of the past fifty years teaches us anything, it is that peace does not follow disarmament - disarmament follows peace.
I think the disarmament of Iraq is inevitable.
Disarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative.
The United States strongly seeks a lasting agreement for the discontinuance of nuclear weapons tests. We believe that this would be an important step toward reduction of international tensions and would open the way to further agreement on substantial measures of disarmament.
The world organization debates disarmament in one room and, in the next room, moves the knights and pawns that make national arms imperative.
I want to move to a world of no nuclear weapons but I want to do that through multilateral disarmament so that we all disarm together.
Poverty must be eradicated, the resources of our planet used sustainably, human rights respected, equality between men and women strengthened, HIV/AIDS and other diseases prevented, terrorism stopped, and disarmament and non-proliferation secured.
I appeal to the responsibility of the blocs and the major powers, not to seek security in the arms race, but rather in a meeting for joint disarmament and arms limitations.
Disarmament requires trust.
Iraq did not spontaneously opt for disarmament. They did it as part of a ceasefire, so they were forced to do it, otherwise the war might have gone on. So the motivation has been very different.
